A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)

Hello! I am an Equine Nutrition Consultant helping horse owners with their horse's nutrition through personal consultations, seminars, blogging and writing articles. I take a comprehensive look at the horse's needs and come up with effective, cost-saving solutions. I have launched an easy to use Equine Nutrition Software called Feed My Horse. It is an on-line subscription with editions available for horse owners, health care professionals, feed stores and feed reps. It is available on my website www.feedmyhorse.ca.

I own two horses (mother,daughter) for about 10 years and the younger has PPID. I have been working with horses for about 40 years now and still fueling the passion. I love what I do and look forward to chatting with you!

As I continue to work with horse owners in helping them with balanced nutrition plans for their horses, I find that it is…

Here are some quick and fun myths and facts to read about nutrition... enjoy!

"Bran Mashes are Good for Horses"

Research studies have proven that adding wheat bran to the diet does not have a laxative effect. Loose stools because of a bran mash could be caused rather from digestive upset because of the high starch. Wheat bran fed long-term can result in a higher phosphorous to calcium ratio…

Next time you are in the barn take a few minutes to look at your hay. Are you familiar with the quality of it or guessing it? What about the nutrient content?
